It was the German Kingdom of Prussia's highest order of merit. The award was founded in 1740 by Frederick the Great; it was intended primarily as a military honour, but was also sometimes given for civil accomplishments. This version of the order was revived as an independent organization in 1923, and again in 1952, with the President of Germany replacing the King of Prussia as head of the order. This version of the honour is still active. Notable recipients of this award are Bismarck, Hermann Goring, Manfred Von Richthofen.
